Recent bar & restaurant customer reviews in London

The Dovetail is a small bar in a quiet alley off Clerkenwell Green. It's a bit like Belgo's less pretentious, slightly eccentric cousin, if that helps you get a picture of it. I went there for a quiet... More

Gate Restaurant, Bar & Club, Notting Hill (Bar / Restaurant / Club)“Went to the Gate last night for Dinner with friends. We were greeted as soon as we went in, and the helpful barmaid offered us a cocktail list, but she also offered to create a bespoke drink to our taste. All were superb. my gin, lime and blueberry cassis hit the spot on a hot summer night. The menu consists of tapas style international food so we chose several to share. All were home made, fresh and delicious. home made spring rolls to start would put many a chinese restaurant to shame! Foie Gras on home made bread melted in the mouth. Mini burgers and hotdogs - unusual but very tasty. All of this accompanied by reasonably priced house wine and cool tunes from the decks. All staff were knowledgable and very friendly. Add to all this you can drink into the small hours - What else could you want! Notting Hill's finest!”

The Mayflower, Canada Water & Rotherhithe (Bar / Restaurant)“Food is awful, chef is rude and the staff are surly and unhelpful. Avoid the mayflower if you value good food and good serice and value for money.”

Zigfrid von Underbelly, Shoreditch (Bar / Restaurant)“Loved Zigfrid, as it was a bit different to the other bars i have been to, not like the high street bars. Music great and a wide range of people to meet. I will be going back with my friends.”

The Roadhouse, West End (Bar / Restaurant / Club)“Not a bad time if your looking for some good music (rap and rock definately from the 90´s). There are some good looking boys, and a hell of a lot of good dancing. The bar tenders are, ummm , shall i say friendly... damn hot... and put on a hell of an act.”

The North Star, Ealing (Bar)“Best pub in Ealing, I can say that categorically. Good range of beers from mainstream Carling to others that I can't spell. Sublime range of tunes to put a smile on your face and create a relaxed atmosphere. Comfy chairs inside or plenty of benches outside making it ideal for lazy summer evenings. Prices are pretty standard for London @ £2.70 a pint for Amstel. Full of your trendy twentysomethings as well as myself, you can relax knowing Edwards and the Townhouse keep the burberry clan away.”

Piano, Kensington (Bar / Restaurant)“Oh my goodness what a bar! I have been attending the bawdy proceedings at Piano for sometime now and cannot praise it enough. Firstly it is in the very nice Kenny High st dahlings and from the moment you get in there you can feel the warmth from Bazz and the staff. As with all things it is people who make this bar and every visit brings new friends with no attitude other than from the old joanna that Bazz carresses into life. Just go there.”

Murphis Karaoke Bar & Restaurant, City of London (Bar / Restaurant / Club)“I had a ball of a time. We celebrated my birthday at Zyrus and found it difficult to leave at the end of the night. Will definitely go back. Read the review and must say I find the bar staff most competent and friendly. There's one barman who makes a killer Mai Tai, unfortunately he could not mend my hangover the next morning.”

Dalston Jazz Bar, Dalston (Bar)“I think that any place where the waiters give you a very relaxing aikkido massage right after you've got heartburn from very stupidly downing a flaming lambourghini (and it was a sunday, what was i thinking) deserves my props and a big tip. anyway the mohitos were awesome so i';ll be back, but just maybe not for flaming lambos. I hope ive got the right jazz bar. i kinda forgot where i was after all that. ”

The Blue Posts, West End (Bar)“The Blue Posts is run by the staff from the former King's Head in Newport Place, Chinatown. Michael and A (yes that's his full first name!) are changing the place day by day for the better. Can be counted amongst the few West End locals. Friendly, good draught bitters (London Pride and Timothy Taylor Landlord - £2.50 - and a good selection of Belgian beers on draught and bottled). Ample portions of freshly cooked food available daily until 9 p.m. and proper Sunday Roasts, with VERY reasonable prices and a variety of specials, differing daily. No TV, just good background music, mainly traditional. Most attentive and friendly staff. Upstairs bar available (often used for play readings and the like). Decor being refurbished as money and time (all done by the "Guvners" in out-of-hours time) permit. The sort of place one can spend a few hours and not notice the time fly. Mixed, friendly crowd. Be careful, you might get caught up in somebody's birthday party or some other celebration! Who cares if it is a smallish pub, it's the only one I go to in the West End.”

Janet's Bar, Kensington (Bar)“The owner and staff are really friendly and cool! This bar is about value for money but not about price - you get value for money in its uniqueness, no entrance or cover for live music, friendliness and fun! You need a good sense of humour and don't worry about the cost of drinks - they are doubles!”

The Czech and Slovak Club, Finchley (Bar / Restaurant)“I live near by so I decide to try Cz food. It was excellent! Huge portions, very tasty. Not very nice surroudings and the pub was busy from locals supporting ice hockey. But it was great choice on menu and drinks and very reasonable.”

The Roadhouse, West End (Bar / Restaurant / Club)“Awesome !! Went there last Friday had a fantastic time with some work friends, just caught the end of their happy hour (5.30-7.30 !), a beer for £1.80 and cocktail for less than £3 which was a bonus. We also had some food in there American diner which was great value for money, tasty and we were served by a really great waiter. As the night went on and got busier we were delighted when a band came on at around 10.30, played a really good mix of tunes, went off then came back on after a break then played a fantastic 2nd set which got everyone in the venue rocking to. When the band went off a dj took over a played until 3am. All our party(aged 22-35) stayed until the end and agreed that it was the best staff night out we've had in ages, we thought the security staff were the most friendly and professional even encountered. Well done Roadhouse !!!”

Satay Bar, Brixton (Bar / Restaurant)“Hmmmm... took my lady here and was a bit disappointed. The starters and mains arrived a little too quickly and were pretty plain affairs for the £10-ish price tag. Not bad but not spectacular either. You have to run the gauntlet a bit to get in, especially (i imagine) if you are a woman. It was a little difficult to have an intimate tete a tete, with the goons learing at you from over the plastic picket fence that separates bar and restaurant. But it seems to be a hit with the locals and sure is vibrant. - just not what I was after, however...”
